Four volumes open the window.

• Drifting Dragons volume 18
• Senpai is an Otokonoko volume 8
• The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World volume 14
• Wave, Listen to Me! volume 12

Drifting Dragons reaches volume 18 here. That ties it with A Condition Called Love for the second highest number on the list. The Iceblade Sorcerer Shall Rule the World moves on to volume 14. Wave, Listen to Me! gets volume 12.

27 October 2026

A week later another four books arrive.

• Luca the Dragon Vet volume 2
• Phantom of the Idol volume 9
• Rent-A-Girlfriend volume 39

Rent-A-Girlfriend volume 39 carries the highest number in the whole window. Luca the Dragon Vet sits at the other end with volume 2. BLUE LOCK -EPISODE NAGI- hits volume 8. That matches Senpai is an Otokonoko from the week before. Phantom of the Idol lands one step ahead at volume 9.

17 November 2026

Three weeks pass before the final pair shows up.

• A Condition Called Love volume 18
• Am I Actually the Strongest? volume 11

A Condition Called Love reaches volume 18. Am I Actually the Strongest? follows with volume 11. These two close out the window on its last day.

Firsts and finales

No series starts in English in this window. The lowest number on the list is volume 2 of Luca the Dragon Vet. Every other book continues a run that already has several volumes in English.

Six of the ten books are in double digits. The other four are single digit volumes. That makes this a month for readers who already follow these series.

The listing does not mark any of these volumes as a final one. So there is no confirmed ending in this window as of October 2026.
